I got this from the cynus website I believe the user guide.  It may be
helpful to you.

The Cygwin system gives us some flexibility in deciding how files are to be
opened when the mode is not specified explicitly. The rules are evolving,
this section gives
the design goals.

   a.If the file appears to reside on a file system that is mounted (i.e. if
its pathname starts with a directory displayed by mount), then the default
is specified by the
     mount flag. If the file is a symbolic link, the mode of the target file
system applies.

   b.If the file appears to reside on a file system that is not mounted (as
can happen when the path contains a drive letter), the default is text.

   c.Pipes and non-file devices are opened in binary mode, except if the
CYGWIN environment variable contains nobinmode.

   d.When a Cygwin program is launched by a shell, its standard input,
output and error are in binary mode if the CYGWIN variable contains tty,
else in text mode,
     except if they are piped or redirected.

     When redirecting, the Cygwin shells uses rules (a-c). For these shells
the relevant value of CYGWIN is that at the time the shell was launched and
not that at the   time the program is executed. Non-Cygwin shells always
pipe and redirect with binary mode. With non-Cygwin shells the commands cat
filename program and program < filename are not equivalent when filename is
on a text-mounted partition.
